Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we fucking love THE 1975. Ever since we drunkenly stumbled upon The City on music telly one late Saturday night last September, we’ve been smitten with the Manchester art-rockers. Since then, the band have exploded. Two small UK tours were followed by a European jaunt with Two Door Cinema
This was the song that made us fall head over heels for Manchester art-rockers THE 1975. In the wee small hours of a Sunday morning (though still Saturday night, according to our drinking abilities) last September, a tune popped up on music telly and stopped me and the missus dead in our tracks. The City
This video dropped last week, but I’ve been a tad slack and only checked it out this afternoon (blame Daft Punk). Sorry about that. POST WAR GLAMOUR GIRLS are back with a hot new tune, all delightfully dark and brooding and the accompanying video is rather manic. Like a mean and moody Modest Mouse – with
I’ve managed to drag myself away from the new Daft Punk offering long enough to watch the video for Leeds rockers DINOSAUR PILE-UP‘s new tune Derail a good few times. It’s ace. To be honest, on the first viewing, I didn’t pay much attention to the song – I was pretty hooked on the mini-movie which stars, rather
Sheffield metallers BRING ME THE HORIZON released their new album Sempiternal yesterday, and to celebrate, they’re on the road this week playing tiny shows to their hardcorest of fans.

Their jagged post-punk, huge samples and loops and frontman Dave’s vocal gymnastics were a real treat. I’m no fan of Muse – their guitar-twiddling has become a pompous parody of their former glory
Firstly, I’ve got to say, I’ve been waiting for this album to drop for years - ever since I found myself dressed as the Tin Man in the middle of the woods in the early hours of the morning filming their video for Enemies Closer, listening to the song on a seemingly endless rotation (I still have
Ahead of their long-awaited debut album, This Broken Home (out March 22), TALK TO ANGELS have released a slick video for new tune Lead Balloon, which is now available as a FREE download when pre-ordering the album
It’s been a while since Seattle dance-rock masters MINUS THE BEAR played Leeds. It was supporting Jimmy Eat World at the Academy in 2010, I think. Before then, it was 2007 at the Cockpit – six years ago! Crikey! Luckily, they’re back there again in April
I stumbled across Manchester’s DARKTOWN JUBILEE a few weeks ago and have given their debut album The World, The Flesh & The Devil (out Feb 4) a right good listen. It’s ace. Their debut single Stay is out today
